Eeew! So maybe he was just so into whatever he was reading that he totally didn't realize he was in public. OR he was just plain RUDE. Like go to the bathroom or get a tissue or something?? LOLEeew! Gosh, now I'm wondering what I do while really engaged in a book at my fav haunt. Have I ever done some nose mining??? Oh.the.horror!

I had an uncle who used to do a little picking and place the boogie on the wall next to his chair. Little dried pieces of snot for his family to enjoy. How lovely.

Hi Ron,I syopped by earlier ( before lunch !), saw the title & said " I'll come back after I finish lunch !)That is sooo gross ! OK; everyone "has to at one moment or the other but please,please; use a kleenix or go to the restroom.You have my complete sympathy after viewing this .

OK, so the first thing that comes to mind is, "why did you keep looking?" I'm guessing it was like a train wreck, you knew it was grotesque and wrong to stare, but you couldn't pull your eyes away either.

Whenever I see someone do that I tell whomever is with me, "Look, that guy is trying to tickle his brain!"

And speaking of "that guy", it is always a guy that does the mining isn't it? I don't think I've ever seen a woman do that.

I no longer drive much, because I live in a city, but when I did....DAMN...I noticed that the nose pickers went WILD at the red lights! I think it was because they knew they had a full 30 seconds of hand's free PICKING available to them!

Ohhh YUCK!!!Jeff is right, a woman would never do such a thing!!! I have proof of that, none of my girls pick their noses, fart, burp, or anything like that. (not in front of other people anyways)My boys (husband included) think that all things related to gross bodily fuctions is cause for utter hilarity. Have a good week Ron.

You have such a wonderful way of expressing your awesome sense of humor, through the way you lay the words out on the page.

VERY FUNNY!

I have this "thing" about sitting on the floor. Even when I'm at home...if I'm watching a movie, or talking to someone on the phone...I prefer sitting or laying on the floor. Beside sitting at this computer, I very rarely sit in a chair.

Sometimes I think I must have been a "Sitting Buddha" in one of my pastlives!?!

Hey listen, you're like the second person here, who mentioned "nose-picking at traffic lights." I totally forgot about that, because I no longer own a car. But I DO remember that happening quite a lot!

And then when they catch you, catching THEM...they get all red and embarrassed.

I guess whatever he was searching for must have been pushed deep inside his throat cas of his intense fingering. Ron, hope you didn't sit there staring at the aftermath of this nose excavation, cos that would really be a horrible sight indeed :)

Just found you from Barbara's blog (Home in France). I have to say that the French are pros when it comes to nose picking-- EVERYWHERE... NOT in any way discreet and especially RIGHT in front of me!!! I want to scream each time at them---EWWW, that's sooooo gross, don't pick your nose in public!!! I end up saying it out loud, and in English... So, I don't really know how effective it is.. but I DO give them a really mean stare..... In fact, one guy picked his nose on the metro the other day, with three people on all sides of him.... and I honestly don't know where he flicked it, but he kept looking at his finger when he took it out of his nose, time after time... He must've been "diggin' fer gold!!!" Take care, Leesa

How does it go...You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose...but you can't pick your friend's nose. hehehe.

I once heard that the nose was amazing...funny however big your fingers are...they always fit in your nose. Don't try that at home without the assistance of a professional nose picker.

So I guess you noticed how people go into a trance when they pick their nose.

I was driving in car and this guy in a BMW was next to me picking his nose...how intriguing. I glanced every so often...Whoa! he finally picked a winner. I thought...now what are you going to do with that boogie that's at the tip of your finger. He looked at it in wonder. Was he amazed, proud, ashamed?

I couldn't take it...I stepped on the petal...let me out of that's guys bubble...I have since wondered...did he put it on his sun visor, his seat...or did he eat it. EEEEWWWWWW! I don't want to know.

It just goes to show that people have become so self-absorbed lately that they think they are invisible. That or they just don't give a fuck that others around them think they are totally gross.

This leads me to something that men tend to do frequently - adjust their junk constantly whilst talking to you. For Pete's sake guys! It's not going anywhere, it's attached. Please get it settled into a comfy position BEFORE you start the conversation!

Got your comment on my blog, Thanks!! You "picked" the right one--- in fact, you "picked a winner" but not the booger kind- WHEW!! I have to be careful now how I sit on the metro because if lean to much to the corner in the seat closest to the window, I'm really afraid to get dried boogies on me!!! I don't know where people "flick 'em" but I am going to make a real point to let these people know when I catch them digging, that it's NOT cool to do in public!! GROSS!! Thanks again for the post.. It's soooo true everywhere.. Nosepickers International, I guess!! I think I'll do a post on it and link to your blog!!-- Take care, Leesa

The "equipment adjustment thing." I'm a GUY, and I honestly don't understand this. It's almost as if their just "checking" to see that it's STILL there!?!? I often wonder if these guys wear underwear, because for me, once it's "tucked in" for the day....it's in "place."

OMG...you mean to tell me that your husband EATS HIS BOOGIES??? HOLY COW...I just CAN'T imagine that?? I wonder what would possess someone to eat one?

Maybe, because their FAT-FREE???

eeewwwww! I'm GAGGING right now!

Anyway...so glad to hear you've got him to stop doing it in public.

Hey, listen...no worries, dear one....I know that you must be SWARMED with things to catch up on with everyone's blogs, so please don't worry about reading all my posts. I'm just so happy you stopped by to let me know you're back online.

*GiGGLeS* I know right? I couldn't imagine what Boogers taste like!!! It can't be good surely!!!
